Love Lessons Poem by Robert Leary

How do you teach someone to love? They sit before you: "I don't feel the way you do"."Of course not" you say…"you have to learn to love…You knew it as a child and lost it like a toy, broken.It's in you hiding behind pain, spite, bitterness.Move out from the shadows slowlyPlacing one foot in the sand and then another.Do not expect him to be perfectAnd you'll reach the shore.Place one foot in the water, then another.Let it hold you like a wave, Do not expect perfectionLetting the water embrace you slowlyLook up into his eyes and see he loves you."

I like this one. Perfect love is unattainable, is it not? We are imperfect beings...how can we expect our love to be the opposite? God is Love. He's the one perfect being. If we embrace Him, we find perfection.
